How can I create symbols in my writing?

Creating symbols in writing involves using imagery and metaphors to represent ideas. What specific themes are you exploring?

I'm writing a story about freedom and confinement.

You could use a bird as a symbol of freedom and a cage to represent confinement. How do you envision these symbols in your narrative?

I want the bird to escape the cage at the end.

That's a powerful image! It can symbolize hope and liberation. How will you build up to that moment in your story?

I plan to show the bird's struggles first.

Great approach! Showing the struggles will make the escape more impactful. Do you need help with specific scenes?
